It seems most likely, although this localisation pretty much came from nowhere. Heres hoping some old gems get looked at and get given a localisation.__________________--"I thought you would have said he's over level 9000."--

I'd certainly like to see more of the giant PSP back-catalog of Japanese games come trickling in over the life of the Vita, given that it supports the digital versions.

I wouldn't say no one wants to work with it. We've seen PSP releases from Gaijinworks, Aksys, NISA, and Xseed alone this year, just off the top of my head. I know there are a few other publishers here and there, too, like whoever it was that did Mystic Chronicles. Toukiden is still supposed to come out this year, but I'm actually not sure if the western release will be Vita only or will include the PSP version as well.

Heck, even EA still released FIFA 14 on PSP not even two months ago.__________________

Yes, these companies released games in 2013, but NISA and XSEED released games announced in 2012 (XSEED will release Trails in the Sky Second Chapter in 2014, but it was "announced" in 2011).

Gaijinworks was working on Class of Heroes 2 since 2012 at least, and Class of Heroes 3 is unofficially confirmed because it was always in Gaijinworks plans. Mystic Chronicles was announced this year, but as it is a port of a game that was available in the west before, it is not something really new. The same goes for FIFA reskins (it was released for PS2 too, mind you).

The only really "new announcement" in 2013 was Sweet Fuse, back in February. Since then, nothing new was announced for PSP. I doubt any company will announce a new PSP title out of the blue, especially when even the small fanbase is so picky about future PSP games (they want it to be very cheap and many will only buy if it is a physical release).

Carnage Heart announced in 2012 and Mystic Chronicles a port of a game already released in the west in 2012 (mentioned in my post). I don't see it in a different position from the other companies mentioned.

Whatever excuses you want to make up, PSP games were released and will be released. The system's successor is here but it's not a dead platform yet. Especially not in Japan. I've bought (pre-ordered) two new import games for it this year alone, one as recent as August. (And I rarely pre-order imports.) As long as they continue to be made, there's always a chance for localization, especially with Vita supporting digital PSP releases.__________________

I just want more PSP games coming out of nowhere, like Generation of Chaos: Pandora's Reflection. It underperformed in Japan, but it still got localized by NISA and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Since Idea Factory games aren't expensive to license, I'm expecting at least another one before it's all said and done.

We all want new PSP games, but since the last proper "new" PSP localized game announcement came in February, chances are getting smaller and smaller that we will get new announcements in the future. The only company that made it clear it still wants to work with PSP is Gaijinworks.

Trails in the Sky Second Chapter was announced with the PC version, XSEED never said they'd bring it for real before. Also, as much as Victor has said that he's working on Class of Heroes 3, we have no guarantee it'll get released.

IIRC, they got all of the first three CoH games as part of a package license deal. There will definitely be a digital release of it, if nothing else. It's one of their more successful titles.__________________

Gaijinworks just teased a new PSP game announcement by the end of the year. The game in question will come out after CH3 and it's not a CH title. My god I feel so gossipy lol. I hope we get more IF PSP games next year! Given their fanbase is still in the market for PSP titles.

You're completely missing the point, or purposely ignoring it to have your little argument with me.

The whole point was that you said there's no guarantee CoH3 is coming, but it is. Who cares who published the first game? Completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. Like I said, 2 and 3 came in a package license (as far as I'm aware) and Vic's already said 3's an ongoing project. He's not going to flush all of the money he's put into it on licensing and localization away. Gaijinworks is too small for that.__________________

I think it's funny, I'm just trying to show the facts, but you're beefing up with the second person on this topic. I'll let you have your cake in peace, I don't think it's worth beating a dead horse at this point.

What facts? All you did was come in and say that there's no guarantee it will be released when everything points to the opposite. If you want to present that as a "fact", then the burden of proof lies with you.__________________
